Why, Mr. Presi- dent, if you were ts believe all this honorablo sevator has said to-day, you would supposethat in issuing this patent certiticate on this land earned by this company, there has been dona romething that never has been done before, Every scoretary that has eatin the chair cf Van Wka Detnils the Hismry of | the department of the interior for the last the Backbone Road.

Ha has been n member of the committee of public lands, and never, either on that committes or in this body, has he been heard to say a word on this subject. It isin the prees; it is where the senator can get credit for being the chsmpion of the down-troddenjand oppres+ed, and the opponent of corporations, that he 18 heard. Whoa legielaticn can be had and the lotersata of the government can be protected, if desira- b'e to protect them, he has been as silent as the geave. There are on record in the land office mil- lions of actes of land issued under exactly the same situstion as that under which this land was issued, Teller then at some length summarized the action of the legislature and the executive branches of the government in relation to this road, claiming that it showed the legality of the grant had been recognized all through, TELLER GAVE THE HISTORY OF THE ROAD and recited the condition of the grant and ity assignment, which he declared legal and re; without at least protest that that adminis. | patents and other papers in_conneetion with the grant and asked the reason for so much haste, and whether it was dabgerous to trust the representatives of the people in the next congrees, In conc usion he desired to give public notica that the Irgality of the patents would be contested so that the purchasers’ bend, now to be issned, might not claim the protection accorded to innocent pur:hasers without nctice, REPLYING TO VAN WYCK, TRLLER SAID: he must confess to considerablo astonishment on picking up the resolution so discourteous, #0 unsenatorial ns this, to the co-ordinate branch of the government, He supposed that it had accomplished the purpose for which it was introduced, It enabled the mover of the resolution to appear before the public in his role of thechampion of the laboring classes, He presumed the senator introducing the res- olution expectod nothing more, Teller said that on rome other occasion he should call the attention of the senate to the remarkable character of the various resolutions coming from the same aource that had been directed totheexecutive department of the government, within the last three years, He then said that from the speech of Van \Vfck the Senato would suppose that in is.uing this patent cer- tificate on the land earned by the company, there had been done something never done before. Every secretary of the interior for the lnst eight years had done exactly the sawe thing as done by the secretary who had just rotired, During agood portion of that time the honorable senator (Van Wyck) had been a CAPITAL NEWS.

In the press, whenever the senator could ho heard, hie was the champion of the down- out and assumed the progortions of o large TIrish putato, It was covered all over with warts, and was not handsome, Eyes followed this man wherever he went, and the comment was general that he should be put_on roms smelling commission. A member of the New York county democracy aleo attracted atten tion. He was six-six high, weighed about 100 pounds, had a large, straight noss, as big at ita base as its tip, 4 goatee an inch and a hialf wide and about sixteen inches long, and mustachios quite aa thin and nearly as long. Among _ the inaugural _ visitors _was David L. _Ules, of Florida Ule was o United States senater 1850, and he and Jefferson Davis are said to be the only surviving members of that sen- ate, Itisneedless to say that Mr, Jefferson Davis was not here. In’ fact, the south was but scantily represented. Most of the inaug- ural visitors from the south of the Ohio river hailed from Kentucky and Virginia, There are ten office.seekers here from the north to one from the south, The solid south ma have captured the z008 are slow in pressing to the front, This may be explainea by the hard times and high railway fares prevailing in the southern sec tion, and by the fact that walking is bad, now that the frost is coming out of the ground, —— FOREIGN EVENTS, THE FRENCH IN CHINA, Paris, March 9,—Gen, Briere Do L isle tolegraphs the government that his loss dur- ing the two days fighting torcliove the French garrison at Thuyenquan was 66 killed and four cargoes wore sold, two withdrawn and cne removed forward, Trade is at standatill, hoth buy- L) ors and eellers waitiog to see whether therc is to bo peace or war.

It was claimed there was a special meeting of the cabinet— its last—to legalize this fraud. Did actual sottlers on this land have any advocate there, and were their rights protected? The lawa secured the settlers’ rights, but did the cabinet protect them or were they turned over to the tende: n.ercies of this corporation, It was claimed by the way of apology that Secretary Kirkwood desired the opinion of the attorney general as to the validity of this rant. With a few notable exceptions the istory of the land bureau of the interior de- partment waa the record of the demands of the land grant corporations and the decrees of the department in obedience thereto. But when the demand was too exacting an opinion of the attorney gencral was sought, behind which to escape until the storm of public in- dignation passed by. In this case the attor- ney general was equal to the occaslon and sustained the reputation of the office in that direction. Very learned arguments by Judges Dillon, Green and Pierrepont on behalf ot Gould and Huntington were made before the attorney general, but alas, no one applied on behalf of the people, From all the offices of the great nation no one sppeared to defend the public domain, No wonder the attorney general readily accepted the arguments of Gould's Attorneys. The ingenuity of an at- torney general was valuable to suggest doubts ‘whoere none existed, and then resolve their doubta in favor of the corporation. In the Forty-eighth congress the public lands com- anittee of the house reported in favor of the forfeiture by some political legerdemain. The matter was afterwards referred to the judi- ciary committee to report as to the legality for forfeiture. A majority of the latter reported adversely and was sustained in the House by a close vote, That the symmetry of logisla- tion might be proserved it was to be hoped that Huntingtonmight hereafter give sketches of the means and the manner of this achieve- ment. By what means could this company or its assigns coerce this government into an extra session of ita cabinet, and secure action with which they would seek to foreclose con- gress and the paople from effectively rending the spoiler of his prey. What right had even the president and’ cabinet to waive the broken conditions? That power was vested in congress alone. But why was this? Should the clerks work nights and insult the reli- gious sentiments of this country by working on Sundays? What was the nocessity, public or otherwise? This republic was not to perish on the 4th of March, Its continuity was not to be disturbed by the changing of the execu- tive, Thera was to be no suspension of power and duties. Was all other business in the interior department concluded by March 4th? Did the other executive departments work their forces nights and Sundays so that the administration might start with only new busiese, He would ask why this haste? Was it dangerous to trust the representatives of people in the next congress? Was 1t _danger- ous to trust the incommg administration to do justice to the men claiming this grant? Was there danger that the rights of settlers on theso lands would be recognized and the pub- lic domain bo protected by the incoming ad- ministration? * If so it then evidently has not e B RSy riry - vt (e public notice that the legality of the patents would b3 contested, so that the purchasers of bonds now to be issued might not claim tho protection accorzed inmocent purchasers without notice, TELLER REPLYING TO VAN WYCK ——— closing weak, ——— 140 to 210 1bs,, $4 30@4 65. o — Texas Takes the Lead.
